Hehe it's me! I've been reading quite a bit of fan fictions that have to deal with L being in his usual position of being a detective and Light being, well, something else aside from a 'god'. As in he is your average criminal, and I just have to admit that the stories I've read are amazing and that they got me hooked on the whole Light is a thief/hacker and it was at this time that the new plot for this story popped up. So plz enjoy this story.
Here are the stories that got me hooked on the whole criminal vs. detective thing:
Hacker of the Past- by frnight
The Art Of Drowning- by Quiet
The Thieving Moon- by Dragonrider4000
So plz enjoy:
KIRA?!
Chapter 1
One more click and… he was in.
In China, every computer screen flickered, at the same time.
But that wasn't what he cared about, no that was… well, only a side effect… the surprise had yet to come, it would take about 20 minutes, after all, he wasn't living in China. The time difference may only have been a couple of hours, but the strange fact was that it took 20 minutes to gain access to several of China's hot-shot companies all at once. He wasn't concerned with the names of the companies, nor the products they were or were going to mass produce. In fact the memory of the stupid mainframes of all the companies would be deleted in a matter of minutes… well, most of it… he only wanted one file in each company mainframe to survive the attack. The contents of the files didn't matter, everything else in the computer didn't matter… only one letter, one letter in the name of each file. He didn't care about the rest… after all, this was just for fun, for the challenge, and there was probably only one person who wouldn't back down from said challenge, the only person who was smart enough to possibly figure out what his plot was, well, maybe.
L groaned, damn migraine, damn it to hell… how on earth was he supposed to work on his cases with a splitting headache?! Sure he was able to catch criminals and solve cases with ease, but headaches? He didn't sign up for those.
"L, you've been groaning like that for the past hour, would you stop it already? You're starting to make me think I put something bad in your cheesecake." Watari said looking at his ward in concern.
L had, in fact, pushed away his strawberry cheesecake. His headache had somehow managed to screw with his appetite, one minute he was starving to death and the next he was sick of shoveling cheese cake down his throat.
Watari sighed, "Here are the cases that were sent to you this afternoon, I hope it's not too much for you to handle." He handed the usual stack of case files to his ward, L took the files trying to ignore the pounding inside his head.
For a brief second L gazed down at the files in his hands. Putting them down on his desk, he grabbed the TV remote that, as usual, was sitting next to the bowl of candy sitting on his desk. He turned on the TV not really caring what channel was on.
Oddly enough, it was the news channel..
And that is what the US Senator Jane Doe has said on the subject…
Thank you Melanie, Elaine, what does the chief police officer of Scotland Yard have to say about 'Leopold the Lyncher?'
'Well, we have managed to catch Leopold with the help of the impeccably famous World Renowned Detective Ryuzaki…'
L tuned out the reporter unconsciously; it was kind of annoying, it had only taken him an hour to solve that case… L wanted a challenge, something worthy of his skills, something that would take at least a few days to solve, not just an hour.
"L, you might want to listen to this…"
"Watari, it better be important."
"L, the news."
L wheeled around in his chair, forcing himself to listen to the annoying reporter.
Breaking News, just a few minutes ago, the mainframes of 41 major companies across China had most of their memory wiped clean. As it turns out, only one file in each company's mainframe that has survived this mysterious attack. The police say that they will figure out the mastermind behind this attack…
L stared at the TV, gaping.
"41?! How on Earth?!"
Watari didn't answer, he was just as surprised as L, the only difference was that Watari was too shocked to speak.
After a few minutes of silence L finally spoke.
"Watari, tell China's Armed Police Force to forward over all the information concerning this case, that means every file that survived this attack! I want everything we can get our hands on!"
Watari snapped out of his trance and walked into the kitchen, a few seconds later L could hear him speaking in fluid Chinese over the phone.
The teen gazed proudly at his computer screen, the smile upon his face devious and cold.
"Let the game begin."
The teen laughed softly.
"I just hope you're as smart as they give you credit for L. After all, what fun would this be if you couldn't live up to your reputation?"
A smirk flashed across his face.
"L what on earth are you doing?" Watari questioned him.
"Watari, I think that these files weren't deleted for a reason, whoever this guy is I think he left a message or hint somewhere, but the oddest thing is is that it's taking me so long to find it." L scowled.
"L, maybe this is the type of guy who doesn't care what was in the files, maybe he just cared about the names of the files, or the letters in the file names."
"Watari, I've tried scrambling and unscram-" L broke off as comprehension washed over his face.
"L?"
L didn't speak, and Watari was almost able to hear L's mind working frantically, as if his thinking had sped up.
"Watari…"
"Yes L?"
"I'm going to need a lot of paper and some Tylenol…"
